NASA LARGE FORMAT. Exceptional and rare photographic print of the most important photograph of the History of the Human Space Conquest which represents the astronaut Buzz Aldrin standing on the lunar ground. The famous Apollo 11 Mission achieved on July 20, 1969 the most fabulous feat, until now, of the human history: that of allowing the Man to walk on the lunar ground. This mythical photograph belongs to the top ten most important photographs in the history of photography since its origins in the 19th century. The large format prints of the period are very rare and were produced essentially for the high personalities associated with the APOLLO program or for some political personalities of particular importance. Intended to be presented in the offices of directors or high administration, they were, after having been the object of all admiration, forgotten from the end of the 70s and often destroyed. Today, they are highly sought after and coveted by private collectors and museum institutions worldwide. Highly symbolic, this type of large format vintage photographic print represents an authentic historical artifact. They are a rare testimony to a universal human achievement, made possible by the extraordinary energy of the United States of America. With this one, the Americans have asserted their technological and scientific world leadership for the benefit of all mankind.vintage chromogenic print on paper : "A KODAK PAPER". 50,1 x 40,2CM.
